A British based NGO has teamed up with a group of students and the local community to clean up Tangalle beach,
Jo Kaminska Foundation Founder-Director, Ms Joanna Ruda, told Education Times that her Foundation which deals with plastic pollution through educational programmes and beach-cleaning initiatives, had organised a programme to clean Tangalle beach.

The initiative was launched by cleaning Tangalle beach last week, with the help of students and staff from the Ocean University in Tangalle.

Cleaning of the beach was scheduled to take place from 9 am-11 am, starting from Parawella beach, near the Navy Camp. “Students were directly responsible for the contact with the local community. They also worked on posters, which, together with leaflets, were distributed in the city. It’s a big, beautiful and extremely important initiative for Sri Lanka and the world, to join Science with Society,” she said.
